As far as I know, the highest flowing cats on the market right now are the 7000-series Random Techs. I believe TByrne and others here carry them. If you are specifically after the Carsounds, I know MTI used to carry them.

If you are interested in the Random Technology cats. I can offer them to you. I have them in stock.

The 7000 series mentioned above is the newest unit. It uses a metallic substrate instead of the common ceramic. It is the smallest & highest flowing cat.

The Random Technology Metallic cats, in either 2.5" or 3" are $249.95 each. I have them in stock, as well as most of the other styles too.

Photos will be on the web-site soon.

I am looking for some cats to quiet my car but not choke my performance. As the car is with no cats(except shells) and add-ons listed in sig, it sounds like a dragster when started especially but also when driven at 60-100mph. I know that when you add cats you loose some horsepower. What is the best cat for the price to quiet it but not kill the cam? Are dynomax good? Thanks, James.

Are any of these higher-flow cats set up
to bolt into stock(ish) exhaust cars?
Like with GM flanges & pipe? Because I
have an '02 with an SLP Y-pipe, and a
decent back exhaust setup, but stock
otherwise; since the manifolds are supposed
to be not-so-bad, maybe a little bump from
looser cats would be more worthwhile than
the whole header hassle.

Or is everything that's any good, a weld-in?

Here's 2 options...

1) Remove the stock cats, cut the flanges off & weld them to either the R.T. Metallics (700000) or the 810000 ceramics. Reinstall in stock location.

2) Remove the stock cats, install pipes in their place using the cutoff flanges. Install the same above cats in the SLP Y-pipe, if it has some straight sections in it.

The 700000s (Metallic) & the 810000s (Ceramic) are REALLY small, they'll fit into some very tight places!

email me at PPC if you would like pics & dimentions.

I have the HR mag, in which that was originally published. It was part of the article on the S.A.M. Camaro (complete with Tony's 0.3 sec power steering belt mod <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ).

As noted above these new RT's will outflow the Carsounds, the big 9000-series Random Techs, etc., and they're tiny.

Here's an old thread with pics:

Here's what they look like......
The 700000s are the small shinny ones in the middle (2.5" & 3"). The 810000s are the round ones to the rear. The 820000 is the one on the right. The 920000 is the monster on the left.

Here's just the 700000 Metallic...
